6: Made in the UAE – Jumeirah’s Malleh and Karama’s Lamb Chops

This episode is themed around home-grown concepts, a fitting tribute to the UAE for UAE National Day on December 2nd.

Malleh Gourmet

Malleh Gourmet is a Dubai-born retail concept that is the brainchild of the Sabbagh sisters. Nazek Al Sabbagh and her sister have transformed the time-tested art of salting fish (“malleh”) into a gourmet, beautifully packaged product that will appeal to newer generation of Emiratis and to the wider international market. They sell malleh and other preserved fish products, including ground anchovy powder and spiced anchovy sauce, at their retail store in Jumeirah. For more details, visit http://www.mallehgourmet.com/ or connect with them over Instagram: @mallehgourmet.

Abdul Hakim, Jacob George and Kieve Pinto talk to us about why they started a restaurant called The Meating Room in Karama. Click here to find them on Google Maps. Instagram: @themeatingroomdxb.
